According to Healthline, morning lifestyle changes can positively affect uric acid control in the body. Here are three recommended habits to apply:
1. Drink enough water as soon as you wake up
Drinking water helps the kidneys have the conditions to excrete uric acid through urine. Keeping the body hydrated is an important factor to support the filtering function of the kidneys.
2. Limit sugar and foods high in fructose in the morning
Taking in large amounts of sugar or fructose-containing foods early will cause uric acid to increase rapidly. Cutting sugar from soft drinks and cakes in the morning helps control purine metabolism and reduce the burden on the kidneys.
3. Drinking coffee
Research shows that coffee can inhibit the purine breakdown enzym, thereby reducing the rate of uric acid production; at the same time, increasing the rate of excreting uric acid from the body.
Note
Consult your doctor if you have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or kidney disease, before changing your diet or applying new habits.
Do not abuse coffee: Although beneficial for reducing uric acid, drinking too much can cause insomnia, increase heart rate or stimulate the stomach.
Balanced diet: Reduce foods rich in purines (red meat, animal organs, shellfish) and increase green vegetables and fruits low in fructose to support effectiveness.
Regular health monitoring: Uric acid concentration testing helps control early and adjust lifestyle promptly.
